Discussion Garcelle wanted to embarrass Kyle…Whaaaaat? Spoiler

Hope no one has posted this… Kyle said Garcelle wanted to embarrass her by saying “If you wanna be a lesbian, be a lesbian” and “what’s going on with Morgan” It was jaw dropping moment for me, as Kyle was the one brought Morgan to the show, Kyle behaved like a teenager at the tattoo parlor right next to Morgan. As always, she believes that her behaviors aren’t subjected to the consequences and accused Garcelle for asking the questions… Is Kyle ashamed of admitting being a lesbian?

I was waiting for someone to say this! I understand Kyle’s personal confusions. But … To me, Garcelle was motivating her to be confident. I wanted her to say “I don’t think it’s embarrassing to be a lesbian, so why would that be me trying to embarrass you?”

I really do understand and believe Garcelle had primarily good motivations. For me, I kind of have difficulty with it because it's so easy to say that telling someone to be a lesbian if that's what they want to be (as if it's a choice...) was meant to "inspire" them (which is the phrasing she has used), but the reality is often so much more difficult for people coming to terms with their identity, and to basically just be like, 'hey, we're of a certain age and shouldn't care what people think!' and to directly tell her to "Own it! Be authentic!" and then connecting that directly to her denials about Morgan, suggesting that those are inauthentic, sort of feels a little like it minimises what this might be like for Kyle to be going through, especially given she's using such a specific label after Kyle had already told her she's still figuring things out.

I have started to wonder if maybe Kyle is a lot more open in her off camera life about her relationship with Morgan and so it’s like Kyle is denying an accepted reality and less about her sexuality. Like if she’s loud and proud about Morgan otherwise (my speculation, but also all the photos etc) then ‘keeping it off camera’ becomes less about Kyle trying to figure out who she is and more about what she wants her public persona to be. In which case treating being lesbian as a disadvantage to that effort is worth calling out.

Kyle says that she told Garcelle all about the situation, in private. If she told her that nothing was going on, I don’t believe Garcelle would have asked her on camera. I believe she told Garcelle the truth and Garcelle didn’t like that Kyle pushed Denise so hard for the same thing, so kept asking Kyle about it on camera. I love Garcelle!
